JIJI

Thursday, April 11, 7:30 p.m.


The culminating event in our 2023-2024 classical guitar series features an artist who has garnered acclaim not only for the breathtaking beauty of her performances and the wizardry of her musicianship, but for her expansive, progressive outlook on the form.

Praised by The Washington Post for her “mesmerizing” and “stirring” performances, JIJI is an adventurous guitarist known for her virtuosity and command of diverse repertoire. Equally at home with both acoustic and electric guitar, JIJI presents programs that range from traditional and contemporary classical to free improvisation.

In addition to advocating for the music of her contemporaries, JIJI also performs and records many of her own works, as she continues to develop her distinctive compositional voice. Through her impeccable musicianship, compelling stage presence, and commitment to commissioning and performing new musical works, JIJI has solidified her reputation as a top twenty-first century guitarist.
